Thomas Bennaro, the Connecticut man who had been missing since last week, has been found dead and is believed to have died from a fall, police said Friday.

The body of Bennaro, 55, of Meriden, Conn., was found in a wooded area near his home about 6 p.m. Friday, the Hartford Courant reported. Bennaro went missing Sept. 21 and was last seen alive at his home that day around 3 p.m., according to the paper.

Foul play was not suspected in Bennaro’s death, but an autopsy is scheduled to determine the 55-year-old’s cause of death, NBC Connecticut reported.

The Connecticut State Police and the Meriden Police Department discovered Bennaro’s body, according to the Meriden Record-Journal. The paper said Bennaro suffered from anxiety and depression. A Silver Alert had been issued for Bennaro on Monday.

In an attempt to prevent the person from committing suicide, Avleen K. Mokha in her Facebook post wrote, "Don't go ahead with this tonight. There's more in life to look forward to beyond tonight. Please be there to see it."
